No single formulation can include absolutely all ingredients that have been shown to be beneficial to the eye health. For an ideal eye health regimen the following would be a desirable daily combination:

Ginger Plus™

The ginger root is not only an important kitchen spice but also a very important health remedy.

You may have heard to try ginger for digestion support, but it is also highly helpful in:

Improving the digestive and healthy abdominal comfort;

Supports a normal, comfortable menstrual cycle;

Helpful in maintaining a calm stomach feeling with travel and other life situations;

Keeping the joints flexible;

Maintaining a healthy respiratory tract;

Supporting a heightened sense of energy and wellbeing.

Our new formula has more than just high amounts of ginger rhizome per serving, it also contains the salts and ashes of the ginger root. This gives the formula a full spectrum quality and enhances its positive effect on mental and physical well- being.

Broccoli Plus™ supports Liver Detox

Science has long ago confirmed R. Steiner’s insight that regulation of sulfur metabolism is of immense importance for the general health.

Broccolis, through their sulfur containing so called sulforaphanes, do just that. Specifically, they reduce the presence of carcinogens like cigarette smoke, alcohol, synthetic and naturally occurring (dietary) carcinogens, radiation, drugs, infections agents and more.

Studies have shown that a diet including very high levels of yellow and green vegetables especially of the cruciferous family are highly significant to enhance health. Since getting a daily supply of the crucial vegetables is not always possible, or if more than a minimal amount is desired, having a daily supplement of the active detoxifying broccoli substances is clearly very important.

Taking this supplement also has significant emotional and mental benefits. Just as Cruciferous plants contribute on a physiological level to remove unwanted toxins, on a mental level they help to overcome a feeling of stagnation, the experience of not being able to resolve“road blocks.”

Nervous Exhaustion?

We have been very successful with our
Recovery Tonic.
It contains the root of the Winter Cherry

(also known as Withania, Ashwaganda, Indian Ginseng)

Helpful in:

Nervous Exhaustion;

Tonic for all ages: from young athletes to the elderly;

Recovering from illnesses;

Increases resistance to cold stress;

Supports the adrenal gland to keep the cortisol level stable;

Our formula has the unique feature of including not just the root extract, but also the native salts of the root; additional potentized minerals strengthening the adrenal glad; and Bioperine to further improve absoroption.

Brain Fog – A New Anthroposophic Way to Help!

We all know the feeling: the evening comes, we are tired and we have difficulty concentrating; or after the all too big lunch (or any meal) and we can barely keep the head up- let alone have the crisp mind for mental activity.

Even worse this condition can be nearly permanent in some people!

To help with this “state of mind” we need to understand some basic physiology from an anthroposophic point of view first. These insights were given by Rudolf Steiner in a lecture on 3.22.1923.

During eating, the digestive process gets activated and the etheric, life forces in the intestines become stronger. Additionally, an etheric image is generated by the plant product that has just been consumed. (It is similar with eating animal foods.) However, whatever excess activity has been generated in the metabolism is usually neutralized within a day or so.

Very importantly, however, while this is going on in the lower organism a “negative” is also created automatically in the upper organism, in the brain.

That is the rule for regular edible plants. A poisonous plant though has an additional element in this configuration. The poison is of an “astral”, soul like nature, normally seen only in animals but not “appropriate” in herbs and thus of more significant consequence. When we consume such a plant a much stronger form results in the intestine and the form does not get cleared so rapidly. It lingers much longer. The same goes for the “negative” created in the brain. It remains there much longer also. It also adds an additional “astrality”, soul quality, and yes, awakeness in the mind.

If this process is repeated over and over, an overcoming of the “foggy” mind, an overcoming of the mere “vegging”, numb, out of focus feeling, is achieved.

The most characteristic plant that is helpful in this respect is Hyoscyamus niger- black henbane.

Hyoscyamus 6x taken several times a day, throughout a longer period of time is a great remedy in this respect. (The same in a slightly different way can be accomplished with Belladonna.)

With the Super Bowl taking place this weekend, we decided to ask YOU for some of your favorite Game Day recipes for a chance to win a FREE True Life Pepper. One True Botanica follower, Elizabeth, sent in this delicious and healthy recipe. Consider trying our True Life Sea Salt and Pepper for extra flavor and nutrients!

Core the cabbage and boil the whole head for 3-5 minutes. While that is boiling cook the ground turkey until brown. Chop the bell peppers and onions in small pieces. Then add to the ground turkey when its cooked. Add the white rice after that and mix well. Add the salt, pepper, and garlic salt. When the cabbage is finished take a piece off and add a couple of spoon fulls of the mixture. Wrap up and repeat. Put in a pan and cook 350 degrees until a little brown. You can also add your favorite spaghetti sauce on top for a yummy finish! Enjoy!!
